The Scotland national Club XV rugby union team is one of several national rugby union teams behind the Scottish national side.

The national Club XV takes the best players from club rugby in Scotland to form a side that regularly competes with a similar Ireland Club XV. The two teams play each other annually for the Dalriada Cup.

The Scotland Club XV side also regularly play with the similar England Counties XV since 2014.[1] The French also have a Club XV side named the France Federale which the Scotland Club XV have played.[2] Scotland Club XV has also played a Wales Club XV.[3]

The Scotland Club XV squad was always selected with players that primarily played for their amateur clubs. Since season 2019–20 - when the Super 6 started in Scotland, as a lower level professional league - that meant that players had to be selected from the Scottish League Championship, and thus all players selected that season came from its top leagues: the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish National League Division One.[4]
